The return of the Night furies

Little joy

"Toothless" Sapphire said while she nudge him, Toothless slowly opened his eyes and sat up in confusion. Toothless glance around the room, he notice that Valka and Astrid have left and the two were alone. "Alright do you remember what I said?"

"You're pregnant?" He said, trying not to faint once more

"Are you going to faint?" she asked, Toothless took a moment to catch his breath.

"N...nope" he said while he lay down for a moment. Toothless just stared at Sapphire's stomach, he couldn't believe there was eggs in there and he was about to become a father. "How on earth did this happen?!"

"Do I really have to explain about the birds and the bees?!" She asked

"I mean...I know 'how'...but I can't believe it" he said in shock

"Well believe it! Because in a few weeks there going to be an egg" she said

"An egg?" He asked in confusion

"Night furies don't lay numerous eggs they only have one, that's why our races is so rare since there only one egg at the time" Sapphire explained, Sapphire smiled at Toothless while she lay down on the stone bed.

"Really? I didn't even know about this" he said

"Of course you didn't, Toothless" Sapphire said, Toothless smiled at her and lay down next to her. He wrap his wing around her and brought Sapphire closer "My mother told me"

"Well one egg is prefect" he said has he lick her cheek

"An egg?!" Toothless and Sapphire looked back, and watch has Hiccup, Valka, and Astrid entered the stables.

"Yes! An egg" Valka said

"You mean the night furies...are...saved?" Hiccup asked in surprise, Valka and Astrid rolled their eyes and nod

"Wow!" Hiccup careless walked towards Sapphire, maybe in a way that Sapphire and Toothless didn't like so much. Toothless's instincts took over, he immediately stood in front of Sapphire and growled at Hiccup to his rider surprise. "Toothless?" Hiccup asked in shock

"Hiccup! Never ever charge at a female dragon with eggs!" Astrid said while she held his arm, she couldn't believe Hiccup had forgotten such an important detail "You should know this"

"But Toothless...?" Hiccup said while Toothless went closer to Sapphire

"He's just protecting his family, son" Valka said has she place a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "I know your feelings are hurt from Toothless's reaction, but it's only his instincts telling him to protect Sapphire"

Hiccup stared at Toothless, he watch has Toothless slowly lowered his guard and sat down next to his mate. Hiccup just smiled and tap his forehead with his hand, "Sorry bud" Hiccup got closer but far enough to Toothless's comfort "Whenever your ready, I'll be happy to meet your young"

A few weeks have passed and Toothless anxiously waited outside of the stable, Sapphire was laying their eggs and he had forced Valka to help her. An hours passed before Valka came out with a smile on her face, she patted Toothless's head and mention him to enter.

"Hey?" Toothless said while he entered the stable. He smiled when he saw the egg with Sapphire siting in front of it, "Is that really our egg?"

"You mean eggs" she said

"Eggs?" Toothless asked in confusion, he walked up closer and saw another egg beside the first. A big smile appeared on his face, "This is incredible!"

"I guess I was wrong about the one egg thing" Sapphire said has she lay down next to the eggs, Toothless affectionately nuzzled her and lay down beside her.

"I love you, Sapphire" Toothless said

"I love you too" smiled Sapphire has she lick his cheek

Another few weeks have passed and Toothless anxiously waited for his eggs to hatch, but he was a bit worried about Sapphire. Sapphire rarely left the eggs out of her sight, she would only leave for the bathroom but besides that she wouldn't eat, drink, sleep, or any of the basic needs. Toothless made sure to bring his mate some food since he knew she wouldn't eat, unless he sat down and watch the eggs for her.

"Sapphire" Toothless said with a mouth full of fish

"Hey" she said while she heated the eggs slightly

"I got you some food" he said while he place the fish down, Toothless nudge her and mention her to the pile of fishes.

"I'll eat later" she said

"Eat now! I'll watch the eggs, alright?" Smiled Toothless while he sat down next to the eggs, Sapphire glance at him and knew she wouldn't be able to get rid of him.

"Fine" she said, Sapphire went to the fishes and ate them. Toothless made sure to watch the eggs has Sapphire usual does, once she had finished her meal; Sapphire kick Toothless out and returned to her previous position.

"Did you drink anything?" He asked while he cleaned the stable a bit

"Somewhat" she mumbled

"Sapphire I understand why you have to stay by the eggs, but you need to take care of your health" Toothless said

"I have to watch the eggs...temperature and all of that" Sapphire said while she nudge the eggs

"But you've hardly eaten" he said

"Toothless look!" Sapphire said, Toothless quickly ran toward Sapphire and smiled when he saw the eggs moving. Sapphire yawn while Toothless sat down next to her, the two watch has the eggs started to hatch. The first egg hatch first with a dragon head poking out, the second followed with a tail instead.

"A female and male...a son and daughter!" Smiled Toothless, Toothless lowered himself to their level and gave them each a nuzzle. "What should we name them?"

"Ruby and Jura? What do you think?" Sapphire asked has she place her head down, Toothless turned his head away and smiled at the two hatchlings. The female has red stripes on both eyes, and the edge of her wings; the male was simply all black.

"I like it!" Toothless said as he gently pushed the male into a sitting position, "Sapphire!" Toothless turned around expecting to see his mate smiling at him, but notice Sapphire laying down on the ground "Sapphire?" He asked as he nudge her. The hatchlings crawled towards their mother and nudge her as well, "Sapphire are you alright?"

Sapphire didn't answer and just kept her eyes closed, Toothless started to get worried and feared the worst.
